Is my brother's best friend actually flirting with me?

Question - (1 August 2012) 3 Answers - (Newest, 1 August 2012)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So I'm 15, and my brother is 22. His friend works at the same place as my brother and went to school with his as a kid but was two years younger. He is 20 years old. When I first met him at my brothers work he was really nice and seemed to be hitting on me, until he realized that the homework I was doing was for my 9th grade spanish class. When he found out I was 14, (it was before my birthday) he kept telling me that I looked older than that. Ever since then, whenever I would see him he would smile or wink and say hello. One day after not seeing him for a month (after I turned 15) he kept smiling at me and saying "if only you were older" or telling me that "i'll be his in three years" and multiple times he has touched my hand a little longer than normal, or i've caught him staring at me. One time my brother's team (he's on it) and I were out for dinner and he sat next to me. My OTHER brother's friend started to flirt with me and he got protective over me, saying that i'm his and all that. If I mention anything about a guy he tells me he'll joke about beating up anyone up who hurts me. He uses simple excuses to put his arm around me, even in front of my brother, which makes me wonder if he's kidding or for real? Please help, I'm super confused... and I don't want my brother to murder me, lol.

k_c100 agony auntHe is flirting with you yes, but he knows you are too young so he is not going to follow through on his flirting.

I wouldnt worry about it too much, it is a bit of flirting and a bit being protective of his friend's little sister. Even when you are older I doubt anything would happen because your brother would be very annoyed, so this guy would lose his best friend (your brother). And he isnt going to wait 3 years for you either, by then he will have moved on to a new girl I'm sure.

Try and forget about it, nothing is going to happen here so try and think about him as another older brother for you.

I hope this helps and good luck!

He is just being friendly and joking with you. He is not flirting, he is just joking around and being protective of you because you are his friend's little sister and you are a minor and he doesn't want to see you get into trouble or see anyone take advantage or hurt you. One of my brother's friends was the same with me when I was your age, there is nothing to it at all.

Simple Answer is YES. The actions you mention all lead to flirting. His age is right, his flirts are legitimate.The question is Which part bothers you..

Is it his age, is it the age gap or is it the fact that he is your brothers friend? Is he a good friend of your brothers?

And if he is (flirting) what are your thoughts on it

I dont mean to be rude but is there any reason he is flirting with you. Maybe you stare at him and dont notice.

You could always pull him aside and ask him, but when youre brothers not nearby to 'murder' you
